Are Saints Good Role Models? RE Unit Year 5/6

This resource is a 6 week unit of work learning about saints. The unit of work consists of:
Week 1 - What is a saint? Investigation into saints and the children’s prior knowledge.
Week 2 - Researching different saints lesson
Week 3 - Investigating the terms martyr and revered
Week 4 - The impact saints have had on people’s lives and what they sacrificed. This is research on Martin Luther King and Mother Theresa. I used Twinkl comprehensions to help with this lesson.
Week 5 - debate questions -Do you think Jesus is a saint? Should saints be dead before they are recognised? Do saints have to be believers in God?
Week 6 - evaluation lesson

There is a powerpoint for each lesson along with worksheets, planning and resources where relevant.

This is a really enjoyable unit of work and I hope you enjoy teaching it as much as I do!
